EDM

I'm sorry, most audio enthusiasts don't know about timbre truth. They don't go live concert, they don't learn about sound, they don't have a clue about sound. Now, if you want to be serious about sound, you ought to learn sound and get educated. Hence, they create sound in their head. Can you imagine the debate? Herer go the blind men and an elephant. The loudest voice wins the debate. 

Now that the young audio wannabe with their Electronic Dance Music aka EDM, they care less about timbre truth because EDM doesn't have any of it. These are electronic music, they bend them as their will, they can do incredible sound with electronics. To excel EDM reproduction, a system that is fast, dynamic and bassy will do just fine. They are not wrong to have a system to enjoy their EDM. I recalled attending an audio show years ago, I reacted WTF to a high-end system playing EDM. Do I have to pay this price for a system to play EDM? Imagine playing classical music through these systems, the balance is off. Actually, classical music is an ideal to calibrate tonal correctness because you know exactly how it should have sound. 

I say this with a caveat. Yamaha trained, a piano tuning friend once told me he can tune a Yamaha to be like Steinway. This is not my line of work, I cannot attest to this. But coming from the expert, with his electronic tuning device and tuning fork, I have to give the benefit of doubt.
